Abstract

An Internet user transfers directly to a domain within an e-community by providing a home identity cookie having an extensible data area and enrollment token to a web browser by a home domain server, and enrolling through an e-community for a user of the web browser by redirecting the home identity cookie via the web browser to each of the affiliated domains in the e-community until each affiliated domain has been visited once by the web browser. Upon each visit to each affiliated domain, an affiliated domain identity cookie is sent to the web browser including an enrollment successful indicator. Enrollment success indicators are accumulated and persistently stored received in the extensible data area of said home identity cookie. Subsequently, the identity of the user is vouched for at an affiliated domain through exchange of a vouch-for request and vouch-for response between the home domain server and an affiliated domain server.
